“I’m pleased to report that Coach Kill has been discharged from care,” said Smith in a statement. “He is in good spirits and eager to get back to work. He has no restrictions and is free to return to work when he feels up to it.”

Kill will be at Saturday’s game against Miami University at TCF Bank Stadium that according to Gophers offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover. Limegrover was on KFXN-FM 100.3 Thursday and said the coach will be back but to what extent he wasn’t sure.

"One thing I can say with certainty is, he will be in the building," Limegrover said, that according to the station’s Twitter account.

"He will be visible to the team and be around," Limegrover told KFXN, "whether it's on the field or in the press box."

The 50-year-old coach has had a history of seizures including his time when he was at Southern Illinois.
